CNS boys track streak ended by B'ville

It pleased the home folks that the Cicero-North Syracuse girls track and field team dominated Baldwnisville 115-26 last Wednesday at Bragman Stadium -- but a much bigger story was unfolding a few miles west on Route 31.

Competing at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium, the boys track Northstars saw its run of 22 consecutive CNY Counties League National division victories end at the expense of Baldwinsville, who used a string of wins on the oval, plus a relay sweep, to beat CNS 76-65.

Success proved far more elusive on the track, despite Munoz winning a third time in the 400-meter dash (52.7 seconds). Other than Chris Buchanan, who swept to wins in the mile (4:26.5) and 3,200-meter run (9:37.1), CNS came up dry as B'ville got double wins from Andrew Hoover (110 high hurdles, 400 hurdles) and Rudy Sapp (100 and 200-meter dash).

As this went on, the CNS girls were blowing out B'ville with lots of contributions from Jasmine Thompson, who earned four titles.

After winning the 100-meter hurdles in 15.0 seconds, Thompson turned to field events. She cleared 5 feet 2 inches in the high jump, went 35 feet 10 inches in the triple jump and also won the long jump with a leap of 16 feet 5 inches.
